Doctors' responses
You have swelling in your ankles along with dark spots on the skin. This is most likely due to poor blood circulation in the legs, where fluid and blood collect around the ankles over time. This can cause skin discoloration that looks like bruises or black dots. –In the meantime, keeping your legs elevated and avoiding long periods of standing can help reduce the swelling. —Dx: Shotha + Rakta dushti —Rx: 1) Aimil Neo-Varuna Cap – 1 bd after meals 2) Aimil Lukol Tab – 2 BD after meals 3) Aimil Amlycure DS – 2 tsp BD before meals 4) trifla tab 1 at night with Luke warm water —Local: Mahanarayan oil massage OD —Advice: Leg elevation, low salt, avoid long standing —F/U: 2–weeks — tests will be done if worsening swelling/pain Even if no relief then consult offline for proper evaluation
